Natasha: So what is love, then?
[Natasha’s voice:]
Your voice, your eyes…your hands, your lips…Our silences, our words…Light that goes…light that returns. A single smile between us both in quest of knowledge…I watched night create day…while we seemed unchanged. O beloved of all, beloved of one alone…your mouth silently promised to be happy. Away, away, says hate; never, never, says love. A caress leads us from our childhood. Increasingly I see the human form…as a lover’s dialogue. The heart has but one mouth. Everything ordered by chance. All words without aforethought. Sentiments adrift, men roam the city, a glance, a word. Because I love you, everything moves to live, only advance!
Aim straight for those you love.
I went towards you, endlessly towards the light. If you smile, it is to enfold me all the better. The rays of your arms pierce the mist.
